Park HCW-9 Headset Wrench Review

by Levi Bloom

This is a 36mm and 40mm open-end headset wrench made by Park. The large wrench opening is required to fit around the wrench flats on threaded headsets, and this model is for 1 1/8" and 1 1/4" threaded headsets.

Pros: It works, and it's strong and durable.

Cons: It's not the most comforable wrench to use.

The Final Word

If you need to work on threaded headsets, get one of these. It's hard to find any other wrench that opens up wide enough.
